Abstract Background: KRAS mutations occur in ~30% of NSCLC and KRAS G12C is the most common subtype (~40%). Co-mutations can impact NSCLC prognosis and tx response. Methods: This retrospective study used the nationwide (US-based) de-identified Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine clinico-genomic database (FH-FMI CGDB; January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2022). De-identified data originated from ~280 US cancer clinics (~800 sites of care). This study is based on tissue-based assay (FoundationOne CDx). Pts were aged ≥18 years; had KRAS G12C-mutated, advanced/metastatic NSCLC, and had received ≥1 line of tx, with 1L tx initiated after October 1, 2016. Pts were categorized by presence (m) or absence (wt) of single co-mutations in STK11, KEAP1, or TP53; pts with EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, MET, or NTRK alterations were excluded. Key endpoints included overall survival (OS) and real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS). Statistical methods included a univariate Cox hazard model. Results: Among 847 pts with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, co-mutations of STK11 were seen in 24%, KEAP1 in 14%, and TP53 in 51%. Based on non-missing records (82%), low tumor mutational burden (&amp;lt;10 mut/Mb) was more frequent in the STK11m vs wt group (72% vs 55%; p&amp;lt;0.001), not significantly different in the KEAP1m vs wt group (53% vs 60%; p=0.145), and less frequent in pts with TP53m vs wt (50% vs 69%; p&amp;lt;0.001). Negative PD-L1 status (&amp;lt;1%) was more frequent in pts with STK11 (50% vs 18%; p&amp;lt;0.001) or KEAP1 (41% vs 23%; p&amp;lt;0.001) mutations, and less frequent in pts with TP53 mutations (15% vs 37%; p&amp;lt;0.001). STK11 or KEAP1 co-mutations were associated with shorter rwPFS and OS, particularly in pts treated with immunotherapy (IO)-based 1L tx (Table 1). TP53 status did not significantly impact pt outcomes in the 1L setting. Conclusions: In this real-world analysis, STK11 or KEAP1 co-mutations were associated with PD-L1-negative tumors and poor outcomes with IO-based tx in KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC.
